No, de-duplication and conflict resolution is much harder if dependencies are in a bundle. There are many better solutions to this problem:

* Fix NPM and make it immutable. If there's a legal problem allow a package to be flagged with a warning and redirected to its new name.

* Use bundleDependencies in npm

* and maybe even back-up your entire code directory
